This lovingly curated two-disc set from reissue label Real Gone Music compiles the singles of Canadian hard rockers
Steppenwolf. While their albums have been widely covered in the digital era, the numerous singles from their prime era (1968-1972) have remained elusive for collectors. With extensive track-by-track liner notes by bandleader
John Kay and a quality remastering effort by engineer Aaron Kannowski,
The ABC/Dunhill Singles Collection features the A- and B-sides of each of the band's singles, including their late-'60s smashes "Magic Carpet Ride" and "Born to Be Wild." It's definitely a set for completists and even includes all four singles from
Kay's early-'70s solo efforts. ~ Timothy Monger
